- Waking from a nightmare, Maggie finds her way downstairs to us through the dark, still house. She climbs into our bed, and falls asleep in my arms.
- Becca's first day at her new primary school. We meet her new teacher, Miss T, whom I instantly warm to. At first Becca is shy but self-possessed, answering questions clearly and politely. When she sees a large stuffed shark on the classroom floor she lies down in its jaws, looking suitably delighted.
- At home for the day with Maggie, I decide to leave the computer alone, ignoring email, Twitter and anything else I usually sneak a look at during odd moments. And my day is calmer, steadier, more peaceful for it.
- Maggie has a nap! She's been refusing them for the past week and I was starting to wonder whether she was outgrowing them. But she happily toddles off to bed after lunch and sleeps for an hour and a half, giving me time to potter, drink coffee, and read my book in the sun. And ignore the computer, of course.
